First day on atkins

[mummymorgon]

Today is my first day on Atkins, and so far I've managed okay. I feel slightly out of sorts as I'm feeling a little shaky but nothing to worry about! So far I've had a tuna salad, tuna snack, salmon and vegetables. The thing in struggling with the most is not being able to have a lovely milky cup of tea when I want to

Can we have milk in tea? Would love a cup xxx

You could try unsweetened soya milk, it's low in carbs, I have a builder's tea every morning and use that, and couldn't stand normal milk now - and some people have cream, but I never fancied that in tea!

That sounds like a very good idea. Will definatly have to pick some soya milk up as I just need a cuppa!!!x

Make sure it's unsweetened soya milk - I use alpro light, it's great.

Glad you've had a good first day!

I have to just have to say that this forum is FANTBLOOMING TASTIC!! Have helped me no end over my first week and a half - and yes it becomes very addictive but that is because everyone is so helpful and friendly.

I tried the soya milk and it wasn't for me so I am sticking to black coffee and if I fancy it one with a dash of cream at night, bit to be fair recently I have been down to just one cup first thing in the morning so I think I have started weening off the caffeine too, which is great! Just sticking to water and lots of it!

Morgon I felt really out of sorts for the first 2 days just getting my head around eating all the lovely food, and then the "Atkins" flu hit me day 3 0 it does make you want to chuck it in - but stick with it! Luckily mine only lasted 24hours - I think it's because I kept up my fluid intake during it.
Good luck - when is your weigh in day?

My weigh in day is Tuesday so I still have ages to go, but I am thinking positive that I can do this x
